Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 2:04 PM CDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 204 PM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1218 PM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021 VFR conditions will continue across all TAF sites during the period. Winds will be light out of the southeast with scattered cumulus possible at KMAF, KHOB, and KCNM this afternoon. Thunderstorms appear likely based on latest convective allowing guidance in southeast New Mexico. Have added VCTS this afternoon in TAFs at KCNM and KHOB based on this guidance. Not all guidance have thunderstorm development, but a majority do. Confidence is moderate in this outcome, but will amend if later trends and guidance suggest otherwise. Winds will be light and variable tonight. Tomorrow morning, winds will once again be light out of the south and southeast. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday night) Issued at 154 PM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021 The subtropical ridge continues to build across the central and northern plains. The southern plains will remain on the southern periphery of the high during the short term period. Thunderstorms will be possible this evening across southeast New Mexico, mainly over the higher terrain, but a few thunderstorms may reach down into the far western plains along convective outflow boundaries. This activity will wane into the evening due to the loss of heating. Tomorrow afternoon, thunderstorm chances will return to southeast New Mexico, primarily over the higher terrain once again. Additional thunderstorms will be possible over the eastern Permian Basin. This area will have slightly warmer temperatures and slightly higher moisture building in from the east and will potentially reach convective temperature during the afternoon. No severe weather is expected as flow remains weak throughout the depth of the troposphere. Highs will be near to slightly above average as the highest heights will continue to be to our north. Lows tonight and tomorrow night will be mild and around average for this time of year across the region. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 154 PM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021 On Wednesday the upper ridge will be centered over the KS/NE border and will stretch across the middle of the country from Mexico to Canada. This ridge will drift southward becoming centered over OK by Saturday and the TX/NM border Sunday. After a warm start to the week expect a return to below normal temperatures in the low to mid 90s Wednesday through Friday. These readings are expected to climb into the upper 90s with more 100s over the weekend as the ridge builds south. Lows in the mid 60s to mid 70s. No fronts expected this week and the wind will generally remain S to SE keeping low level moisture up. As far as rain chances storms look possible mainly south Wednesday while Thursday has a slight chance of storms over the mountains... rainfall totals should be low. Not much precip expected Friday with low pops over the mountains again Saturday and Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
